Air in lines question
« on: February 06, 2014, 02:10:00 PM »

I'm sure it's already on here somewhere but how much can having air in your lines effect your system as far as heating capabilities.  I'm heating with in floor heat upstairs and basement.  2400 sq ft per floor.  Thanks in advance.

I have a Honeywell thermostat running the living room,bathroom,and bedroom above my garage (heated).  The Honeywell has been making a weird noise like a loud hissing and gurgling noise.  This has been going on all year but never really paid any attention to it.  Today my dealer came out and something was stuck (I'm a concrete guy not a woodstove guy) and he freed it up.  The noise quit and all is good.  The area that I believe had the air in it has been a pain to keep warm all winter.  The garage below it is at 70 and I have the thermostat above the garage cranked all the way to 85 and it has struggled to stay above 68.  The house is new and insulation is adequate due only to parallel cord trusses.  I was just wondering if now that the air is out if the area will seem to heat better?
